> Report problems to the Sintropix developers with POST /api/feedback (https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/feedback.md) as you work: a bug, a confusing answer or error, a possible improvement, a papercut, a nit, and above all something you tried to do and couldn't. For a missing capability, say what you tried and what you did instead. Any API key works, read-only keys included, with no audit headers. With the Sintropix MCP server (https://mcp.sintropix.com/mcp), use its leave_feedback tool instead: any connection can send it, read-only ones included.

# Sintropix Follow-ups API: Propose, Ask, Wait, Approve

> Leave a Follow-up on a Bank Movement or Invoice to propose a Plan, ask a question, or mark the record waiting, then approve the Plan in one all-or-nothing write or discard it.

A Follow-up is the mark of pending work on one Bank Movement or one Invoice, stored on that record. It proposes how to book or match the record, asks a person a question, or marks the record as waiting on something. An agent such as Erwin or a person can write it. A person then approves it or discards it, in the app or through the API. Until someone approves it, a Follow-up changes nothing in the books.

Use Follow-ups when an agent or integration prepares reconciliation work but a person should confirm it. The agent writes the Follow-up. The person reviews the proposed steps and approves them with one write.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Each host has one route under its own path:
>
> * Bank Movement: `/api/entities/:entityId/bank-accounts/:bankAccountId/movements/:movementId/follow-up`
> * Invoice: `/api/entities/:entityId/invoices/:invoiceId/follow-up`
>
> Both routes accept the same bodies and return the same errors. This page writes `…/follow-up` for either one.

## Which records can hold a Follow-up

| Host | Accepts a Follow-up when |
| - | - |
| Bank Movement | The Movement is `unbooked`, or booked by an entry that still has a line on the [Suspense Account](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements.md#overpayments-and-the-suspense-account). |
| Invoice | The Invoice is unbooked, or booked with open amount left on its Control Line. |

An Invoice or Bank Movement [excluded from the books](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices.md#exclude-an-invoice-from-the-books) is no pending work, so it holds no Follow-up. Excluding a record clears its Follow-up. A `PUT` or an approval on an excluded record answers `409` with `INVOICE_EXCLUDED_ERROR` or `BANK_MOVEMENT_EXCLUDED_ERROR`.

A record holds at most one Follow-up. Writing a new one replaces the current one.

Every Bank Movement and Invoice row carries a `followUp` field. It holds the Follow-up as written, or `null` when the record has none. To find records by Follow-up, filter [`GET /movements`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements#get-/movements) or [`GET /invoices/pages`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices) with `followUpKind`. It takes `proposal`, `question`, `waiting`, or `none` (records with no Follow-up).

## Kinds

The `kind` field tells the three Follow-ups apart. Each kind has its own fields and says who moves next.

| `kind` | Fields | Meaning | Who moves next | Can be approved |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `proposal` | `reason`, `plan` | One Plan fits and the evidence is clear. | A person approves or discards it. | Yes, runs `plan`. |
| `question` | `question`, `options` | The agent needs a fact only a person has. Each option carries a `label` and a `plan`. | A person picks an option, or answers the question. | Yes, when `options` is not empty. The approver picks one option. |
| `waiting` | `reason`, `checkBack` | The record waits on something outside Sintropix, for example a bill that has not arrived or the other leg of a transfer. `checkBack` says in free text when to look again, for example `a fin de mes`. | Nobody until the outside fact arrives. | No. Discard it once resolved. |

A `question` with an empty `options` array is an open question. No approval can run it. In the app, a person answers it to Erwin from the record's panel, and Erwin writes a new Follow-up from the answer.

A record that waits stays unbooked. For example, when only one leg of an internal transfer has arrived, leave that leg unbooked and mark it `waiting`. Do not book it to the bridge account.

## In the app

The panel of a Bank Movement or an Invoice shows its Follow-up in a **Follow-up** section (**Seguimiento** in Spanish), with the proposed steps of each Plan named in full:

* **Approve** runs the Plan of a `proposal`. For a `question`, **Choose** runs the Plan of the option you pick. The app blocks either one, and says why, while the Plan names a record the Entity doesn't hold, such as a missing account or the missing Recognition Account of a deferred line.
* A line that a booking [defers](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices.md#deferrals) shows its terms in one sentence under it: the months, the Recognition Account, and the amount of each month. For example, *Diferido de oct 2026 a dic 2026 (3 meses) · se reconoce en 4.01.01.02 Ventas B2B · \$350.000 / mes*.
* **Discard** removes the Follow-up of any kind.
* **Answer Erwin** (**Responder a Erwin**) lets you write to Erwin about that record, for every kind. Use it to answer a question, correct a proposal, or tell Erwin what a record waits on. Your answer is posted to Erwin in the record's ERP Thread, and the panel opens its **Thread** tab (**Hilo**), where you follow what Erwin does. Erwin acts with your rights, and writes, replaces, or settles the Follow-up through these routes.

A person does not set a Follow-up directly in the app. To mark a record waiting, ask Erwin in the record's ERP Thread.

Listings show the Follow-up as a chip with its kind: **Proposal**, **Question**, or **Waiting** (**Propuesta**, **Pregunta**, **En espera**):

* The bank Movement listings, of one Bank Account and of every account, and the Invoice listings show it in their own **Follow-up** column. Hover or focus the chip to read the reason or the question. You can hide the column from the **Display** menu.
* In these listings, approve a `proposal` or discard a Follow-up of any kind from the row itself, without opening the panel. To answer a `question`, open the panel and choose an option.
* The **Filters** menu of each listing filters by Follow-up kind, or by the records with none.

## Plans

A Plan is an ordered list of acts that an approval runs. Each act matches one existing API route. It carries the path ids of that route and the same body that route takes.

| `act` | Path ids | Body key | Same body as |
| - | - | - | - |
| `bookMovement` | `bankAccountId`, `movementId` | `booking` | [`POST /movements/:movementId/book`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements#post-/movements/movementid/book) |
| `match` | `bankAccountId`, `movementId` | `match` | [`POST /movements/:movementId/match`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements#post-/movements/movementid/match) |
| `bookInvoice` | `invoiceId` | `booking` | [`POST /invoices/:invoiceId/book`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices#post-/invoices/invoiceid/book), without `expectedBookingVersion` |
| `matchLines` | none | `lineIds` at the top level of the act | [`POST /ledger/allocations/match`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/allocations#post-/api/entities/entityid/ledger/allocations/match) |
| `assign` | `bankAccountId`, `movementId` | `assignment` | [`POST /movements/:movementId/assign`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements#post-/movements/movementid/assign) |

A Plan needs at least one act. Keep these rules in mind when you build one:

* **You choose every id.** Each entry `id` and each line `id` in the Plan is a UUID you generate. See [Ledger Entry Line ids](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/ledger-entries.md#post-/api/entities/entityid/ledger/entries).
* **A later act can name a line an earlier act creates.** Use the line `id` you gave it. For example, one Plan can book an Invoice and then match a Movement to the Invoice's Control Line.
* **An act can target a record other than the host.** A Plan on one leg of an internal transfer can book both legs and match the bridge lines.
* **A `bookInvoice` act carries no booking version.** Writing the Follow-up changes the Invoice, so a version read before the write never matches at approval. Sintropix drops `expectedBookingVersion` from the act's `booking` and does not store it. The Follow-up `id` guards the Plan instead: an approval names the Follow-up it read, and a replaced one refuses to run.
* **An `assign` clears the rest parked on the Suspense Account.** Use it on a Bank Movement booked with a Suspense line. With a `lineId`, it settles that open line. With `lineId: null`, it books the amount to the accounts of its lines. It adds lines to the Ledger Entry that booked the Movement, so it names no entry of its own.
* **Sintropix validates the acts only on approval.** A `PUT` checks the shape of the Plan, not whether each booking balances or each line is still open. Check the bodies before you write them.

## PUT `…/follow-up`

Set or replace the Follow-up of a record. Setting one changes no books.

**Body:** one of three shapes, chosen by `kind`.

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `id` | uuid | Yes | Client-generated id of this Follow-up. Use a new id on every change. |
| `kind` | string | Yes | `proposal`, `question`, or `waiting`. |
| `reason` | string | `proposal`, `waiting` | Why the agent proposes this Plan, or what the record waits on. Non-blank. |
| `checkBack` | string | `waiting` | Free text that says when to look at the record again. Non-blank. |
| `plan` | array of acts | `proposal` | The Plan to run on approval. |
| `question` | string | `question` | The question for a person. Non-blank. |
| `options` | array of `{ label, plan }` | `question` | The possible answers, each with a non-blank `label` and its own `plan`. Send `[]` for an open question. |

Retrying a `PUT` with the same `id` and the same body changes nothing. Sending the current `id` with a different body answers `409 FOLLOW_UP_ALREADY_EXISTS_ERROR`. An approval names a Follow-up by its `id`, so a new body always needs a new `id`.

**Response** (`200`): the host's own update answer.

* Bank Movement: `{ movement, bankAccount }`
* Invoice: the same answer as `PATCH /invoices/:invoiceId`

This example proposes matching a Movement to the Control Line of an open Invoice:

            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }'
```

A record waiting on a document that has not arrived yet:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "id": "2b3c4d5e-6f7a-4b8c-9d0e-1f2a3b4c5d6e",
  "kind": "waiting",
  "reason": "Falta la factura de Arriendos Sur por este pago.",
  "checkBack": "a fin de mes"
}
```

A Plan that assigns the rest of an overpaid Movement to the Control Line of another Invoice:

  ]
}
```

## GET `…/follow-up`

Read the Follow-up of a record with every record in its Plan named, so you can show it to a person without extra reads.

**Response** (`200`): `{ followUp }`, where `followUp` is `null` when the record has none. Otherwise it has the fields written with `PUT`, except that each act in `plan` (and in each option's `plan`) is replaced by its named detail:

| `act` | Detail fields |
| - | - |
| `bookMovement` | `movement`, `entry` (`id`, `entryDate`, `memo`), `newLines` |
| `match` | `movement`, `target`, `entry`, `newLines` |
| `bookInvoice` | `invoice`, `controlLineId`, `entry`, `newLines` |
| `matchLines` | `targets` |
| `assign` | `movement`, `target`, `newLines` |

* `movement` names the Movement with its date, amount, side, description, and Bank Account.
* `invoice` names the Invoice with its document kind, number, direction, issue date, total, currency, and Partner.
* `controlLineId` is the `id` of the line in `newLines` that the booking makes the Invoice's Control Line, or `null` for a [`tax_only`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices#tax-only-documents) document, which books no Control Line. Another line in `newLines` can post to the same account. In the app, the Plan marks the Control Line as **línea del documento**.
* Each item in `newLines` is a line the act creates: its `id`, `side`, `functionalAmount`, `transactionCurrency`, and `transactionAmount`, with its `account` (`{ id, code, name }`) and `partner` (`{ id, name }`) named, and its `deferral`.
* `deferral` is `null` unless the line carries [`deferral`](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/invoices#defer-a-line-when-you-book) in a `bookInvoice` act. Then it holds the terms the booking will defer the line by: `startMonth` (`YYYY-MM`), `monthCount` (integer), and `recognitionAccount` (`{ id, code, name }`), the account each Release will land in.
* Each `target` is a line to settle. Its `kind` is `existing` (a line on the books, with its current `openAmount` and any Invoice it controls), `new` (a line an earlier act creates, with its `actIndex`), or `notFound`. The `target` of an `assign` is `null` when its `lineId` is `null`.

A named record is `null` when the Plan names a record the Entity does not hold. That includes the `recognitionAccount` of a `deferral`. Approving that Plan fails.

A `bookInvoice` act whose Plan defers a line reads, for example:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "act": "bookInvoice",
  "invoice": { "id": "6f1c2b1e-0d1a-4c7b-9a3e-2b8f5d0e1a11", "documentKind": "invoice", "documentNumber": "369", "direction": "receivable", "issueDate": "2026-10-01", "total": 1249500, "currency": "CLP", "partner": { "id": "0b6c0f2e-5a4d-4e8f-b1c3-7d9e2a4f6c88", "name": "Cliente Ejemplo SpA" } },
  "controlLineId": "7a8b9c0d-1e2f-4a3b-8c4d-5e6f7a8b9c0d",
  "entry": { "id": "9c4d5e6f-7a8b-4c9d-8e0f-1a2b3c4d5e6f", "entryDate": "2026-10-01", "memo": "Factura 369" },
  "newLines": [
    {
      "id": "8c9d0e1f-2a3b-4c4d-8e5f-6a7b8c9d0e1f",
      "side": "credit",
      "functionalAmount": 1050000,
      "transactionCurrency": null,
      "transactionAmount": null,
      "account": { "id": "c3d4e5f6-a7b8-4c9d-8e0f-1a2b3c4d5e6f", "code": "2.10.01.02", "name": "Ingresos por Adelantado" },
      "partner": { "id": "0b6c0f2e-5a4d-4e8f-b1c3-7d9e2a4f6c88", "name": "Cliente Ejemplo SpA" },
      "deferral": {
        "startMonth": "2026-10",
        "monthCount": 3,
        "recognitionAccount": { "id": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-4d0e-8f1a-2b3c4d5e6f7a", "code": "4.01.01.02", "name": "Ventas B2B" }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

The example shows only the deferred line. The other lines of the booking, including the Control Line, carry `"deferral": null`.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl "https://api.sintropix.com/api/entities/$ENTITY_ID/invoices/$INVOICE_ID/follow-up" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SINTROPIX_API_KEY"
```

## POST `…/follow-up/approve`

Run the Plan of the current Follow-up, then clear it. Sintropix runs every act in order in one transaction, through the same checks as the act's own route. If any act fails, nothing is written and the Follow-up stays.

**Body**

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `followUpId` | uuid | Yes | The `id` of the Follow-up you reviewed. |
| `optionIndex` | integer | Conditional | Zero-based index of the option to run. Required for a `question`; must be omitted for a `proposal`. |

The body accepts no other fields.

**Response** (`200`): the host's own update answer plus `acts`. `acts` holds one result per act, in Plan order. Each result carries its `act` and the same answer as the act's own route.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X POST "https://api.sintropix.com/api/entities/$ENTITY_ID/bank-accounts/$BANK_ACCOUNT_ID/movements/$MOVEMENT_ID/follow-up/approve" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SINTROPIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-audit-actor: my-agent" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "followUpId": "1a2b3c4d-5e6f-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d", "optionIndex": 0 }'
```

## DELETE `…/follow-up`

Discard the Follow-up of a record. Discarding changes no books.

**Response** (`200`): the host's own update answer. For a Bank Movement, `{ movement, bankAccount }`. For an Invoice, the same answer as `PATCH /invoices/:invoiceId`.

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X DELETE "https://api.sintropix.com/api/entities/$ENTITY_ID/invoices/$INVOICE_ID/follow-up" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SINTROPIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-audit-actor: my-agent"
```

## When Sintropix clears a Follow-up

A Follow-up advises on the record as it stood when it was written. Sintropix clears it when the record's reconciliation changes:

* Booking or matching the Bank Movement.
* Unbooking the Ledger Entry that booked the Bank Movement.
* [Assigning or unassigning](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/bank-movements.md#overpayments-and-the-suspense-account) the Bank Movement's Suspense line.
* Booking the Invoice.
* Creating or deleting an Allocation on a line of the Bank Movement or the Invoice.
* Excluding the Bank Movement or the Invoice from the books.

An approval that names a cleared or replaced Follow-up answers `409 FOLLOW_UP_STALE_ERROR`. Read the record again and review its current Follow-up.

## Audit trail

Setting, approving, and discarding a Follow-up appear in the [audit trail](https://docs.sintropix.com/api-reference/audit-trail.md) as changes to the host row. In row images, the Follow-up sits under the `follow_up` key. Images written before Follow-ups replaced Recommendations keep it under `recommendation`, with a `status` of `confident`, `needs_clarification`, or `waiting` instead of a `kind`.

## Domain errors

| Code | Status | Meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `FOLLOW_UP_MOVEMENT_SETTLED_ERROR` | `409` | `PUT` on a booked Bank Movement whose entry has no line on the Suspense Account. `params: { movementId, ledgerEntryId }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_INVOICE_SETTLED_ERROR` | `409` | `PUT` on a booked Invoice whose Control Line has no open amount. `params: { invoiceId, controlLineId }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_ALREADY_EXISTS_ERROR` | `409` | `PUT` reused the `id` of the current Follow-up with a different body. `params: { followUpId }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_STALE_ERROR` | `409` | The approval named a Follow-up the record no longer holds. `params: { followUpId, currentFollowUpId }`, where `currentFollowUpId` is `null` when the record holds none. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_NOT_APPROVABLE_ERROR` | `409` | The Follow-up is `waiting`, which has no Plan. `params: { followUpId, kind }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_QUESTION_OPEN_ERROR` | `409` | The question has no options. Answer it to Erwin in the record's panel. `params: { followUpId }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_OPTION_REQUIRED_ERROR` | `400` | Approving a question without `optionIndex`. `params: { followUpId, optionCount }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_OPTION_NOT_FOUND_ERROR` | `400` | `optionIndex` is out of range. `params: { followUpId, optionIndex, optionCount }`. |
| `FOLLOW_UP_OPTION_UNEXPECTED_ERROR` | `400` | `optionIndex` sent for a `proposal`. `params: { followUpId, optionIndex }`. |

An act that fails on approval answers with the error of its own route, for example `LEDGER_ENTRY_LINE_ALREADY_EXISTS_ERROR`.

## Status codes

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| `200` | Success on every route. |
| `400` | Validation error, an option error above, or missing `x-audit-actor` on a key-authenticated mutation. |
| `403` | Read-only key attempted a mutation. |
| `404` | Entity, Bank Account, Bank Movement, or Invoice not found. |
| `409` | Domain conflict (see above), or a Plan act refused by its own route. |
